Guild Wars 2 Sales Pass Two Million

Congratulations to ArenaNet for having a bona fide sales hit to go along with their critical accolades and runaway hype train.

According to a press release from publisher NCsoft, the subscription-free MMORPG has sold through more than two million units, passing that milestone shortly after the company resumed digital sales. More than 400,000 players have been regularly logged in to the game concurrently across all territories.

Guild Wars 2 topped the All Formats sales charts across ten European territories in its first week on sale.

Wonderful news! I'm glad more people are getting their hands on it and enjoying it. ANet put a lot of effort into Guild Wars 2, and it definitely shows. It's good to see them get recognized for hard work.

Congrats to Arena they have done a great job on this game and totally deserve their success. While no game is or ever will be perfect. They have totally moved the bar on what an MMO can and should be. After this anyone who wants to charge a subscription for their MMO is going to have a very high threshold to cross.
